Nvidia is the world's dominant AI chipmaker, and its processors are housed in data centers operated by Oracle, Microsoft and other cloud-computing firms. In forging close ties with Nvidia, Oracle has made its cloud-computing operations more competitive relative to larger providers like Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft and Alphabet (GOOGL). The latest Oracle-Microsoft agreement also carries positive implications for Nvidia, further illustrating just how much demand there is for Nvidia's AI chips.

With the stock market deeply oversold this week, we put cash to work by picking stocks across a range of sectors including energy, technology and materials. With the market oversold, per the S & P 500 Short Range Oscillator , our investment discipline called for us to search for any dislocations within the portfolio. Tech stocks remained under pressure Tuesday afternoon, giving us an opportunity to buy 7 shares of Broadcom and lower our cost basis. But stocks returned to the red Thursday, and the market remained firmly in oversold territory. However, the market reversed course in midday trading, with all three major U.S. stock benchmarks trading sharply higher.

Wall Street may be underestimating the potential for one major investing area to underpin generative artificial intelligence models: data. Now, as Wall Street has begun evaluating the secondary and tertiary winners of this long fight, investors may want to search for the data companies that also could triumph. Finding the data winners Engineers rely on data to train AI models, improve their performance and create a productive and relevant technology used by millions of consumers. "Right now, AI for them is an expense because they've got to train the models," he said.

Stocks have been see-sawing in recent weeks amid the revived uncertainty about whether the Federal Reserve is done with its avalanche of hikes to interest rates. High interest rates work to undercut inflation by slowing anentire economy and knocking down prices for stocks and other investments. Still, traders overwhelmingly expect next week’s meeting for the Federal Reserve to end with interest rates staying where they are. But it’s been struggling since the end of July and has reported three straight quarters where its revenue fell from year-earlier levels.
